Rank The Pearl Jam Catalog

[nyquillyn]

This looks like a lot of work.

This looks like a lot of work.

Yep, but its been fun so far

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

How are we handling the other assorted songs like State of Love and Trust, I Got Shit, etc.?

We just need to try and figure out a list of songs we are missing. All i know of so far is breath, SOLAT, i got shit and long road. But Stip has a master list of b sides and stuff we can check

Lol, its not a great song, though i did like it pretty well on the first few listens back when it came out, it just went down hill quick

[knee tunes]

That's what I was thinking as well. I'm also trying to decide how deep we should go. What's included in the "official cannon?" Do outtake snippets like Evil Little Goat count? What about covers? Last Kiss seems like it should just because it was such a big hit, and their version is so well known. Crazy Mary, as well, even though they didn't write it. It's a Pearl Jam song, yeah?

But then what about other covers, like the ones on the Xmas singles? Should Love Reign O'er Me count?

Goat, Crazy Mary, and Last Kiss should count

Love Reign o'er me, No

[epilogue]

Okay, bearing in mind my reservations about how representative this will be of what I enjoy about the band, I admit I'm curious in seeing how different (or similar) my list ends up being to Joey's, stip's, Doc's, etc.

So, fine, I'm in.

I you so big right now.

I think i agree on love reign, maybe its just because it hasn't been a "PJ song" long enough.

My instinct is to say no to LROM as well. But it was an official xmas release. You guys can proceed however you want, but I think I'm not going to include any other covers.

I will include Crazy Mary, though (regardless of whether or not it's a cover. )

[epilogue]

Spenno, I thought you'd have weirder stuff ranked higher. I'm sorta shocked to see RVM in your top spot.

[epilogue]

Yeah, I still stand by my lists this morning. Look pretty good in new light.

unthought known is such an amiable song, Spenno. It's hard for me to picture it so close to the bottom of anyone's list. Not loving it or even liking it I totally get, but strong dislike is hard to imagine.

[epilogue]

All Those Yesterdays hanging tough in your #1 spot, Doc. I don't think I've seen that #1 on a list before. With Release and Immortality right below it. That's really interesting to me.

Hard to Imagine is awesome!

But seriously, folks!

There are probably only a handful of songs that I'd put in the "strong dislike" or the "bad" category. I love me a lot of Pearl Jam. There are a lot of good songs ranked pretty low on my list. Not because they're bad, but only because I like elements of the songs above them more.

Yep, its been my fav song since around 2000, so i think its there for the long haul, though the rest of my top 10 is real close to it. But look at where Jeremy and ledbetter are on my list, they were my previous #1s so if it ever gets replaced at #1 it could fall a long way

I've surprised myself a few times on my list. Songs that I was certain would be top 10 are way out of reach. It's amazing how being somewhat objective changes things.

I feel like every time I listen to a Pearl Jam album I hear four or five songs that I'm certain are top 5 songs.
